It's Friday, I'm Sleepy...It's Meme Time

A quick and simple and oddly enjoyable little meme:

Use the first letter of your name to find a word for each of the following:

Your Name - SarahFour letter word - soupBoy name - SamuelGirl name - Shannon (Huh...I just realized that there are very few girl names that start with S that I like...Sue, Sally, Samanatha, Sheila, Sophronia....ugh)Occupation - steelworker, secretary, seamstress, sawyerColor - sage, silverBeverage - sangriaSomething found in a bathroom - soap...oh, and shampoo...and a sinkA Place - Sri LankaReason for being late - slept too lateFood - scallops and shrimp and salmon and sushi...and soup (I think I'm hungry as well as sleepy)Something you shout - Slow down!

I love this sort of alphabet game...I frequently put myself to sleep playing the one that kids used to jump-rope to. (Do kids still jump rope?) Anyway, you know the one:

A, my name is AnnaMy husband's name is AbelWe live in AshatabulaAnd we sell Antiques

B, my name is BonnieMy husband's name is BenWe live in BostonAnd we sell Books....

And so forth. It's a rare night that I get all the way through the alphabet without falling to sleep. Though there have been a few unpleasant nights when I've used this variant (and still been awake at Z):

A, my name is AmyMy husband's name is AdamWe live in AnaheimAnd we sell automobilesMy favorite gem is an amethystMy favorite author is AustenMy favorite color is azureAnd I like to eat apples.

Is this lunacy genetic? I wish I had any idea of what you all were talking about. Aren't jimmies those little sprinkly things that go on cookies? Wouldn't they kind of get in your eye make-up if you kept them in the bathroom?
